North Korea has replaced its defense minister with a hardline military commander believed responsible for deadly attacks on South Korea in 2010, diplomats in Pyongyang said Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012. It is the latest in a series of high-profile appointments leader Kim Jong Un has made since he took power nearly a year ago. (AP Photo/David Guttenfelder, File)
